[单项选择]Passage Three Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature. Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants. Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and mainta
A. replacement of batteries in harvesters
B. monitoring of batteries in sensor networks
C. elimination of batteries in sensor networks
D. impact of sensor networks on power supply

[单项选择]Passage Three For many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help. Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑）to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided. One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss.

B. are confident of themselves

[单项选择]Passage Three

Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that yo
A. America is a highly developed country

[单项选择]Passage Three

There are so many bad things about women drivers, I don’t know where to start. I guess I will get the bail rolling by talking about one of my biggest pet peeves. Why do women have to wait until they are in the car and barreling down the highway at sixty miles an hour before they decide it is time to put on their makeup
Is there a law that I don’t know about that says women have to do their makeup in the car because the bathroom isn’t good enough for them I don’t know if anyone has ever informed women, but the mirror in the car is not a makeup mirror. The mirror is used for looking at other cars and pedestrians. So please do us all a favor and do your makeup before you leave the house.
The next order of business for the men should be to find out whose brilliant idea it was for women to have a phone in the car. This has disa
